THE TOWER OF BABEL : PART 3 by Jessica Murray
THE TOWER OF BABEL : PART 3
The Buck Stops Here
In this series we’ve looked at some of the assumptions underlying the media onslaught about the election.
We’ve considered how it boxes us into a worldview not our own. This is true of all media messaging. Is it possible to
think outside of the box when we can’t see its walls? Or its floor. In the San Francisco subway station, huge flat
advertisements for electronics carpet the platform. We found this shocking and surreal at first, but we no longer do.
No longer surreal
We’re used to it, and can negotiate our world in spite of it. But I think we have to identify fakery for what it is,
in order to not information-overloadbe diminished by it. What happens when it’s so ubiquitous, we can’t identify it
any more? When we’re in the superstore, we tune out the ambient ads that play over the PA system in an endless loop.
But on some level of our beings, we register the intrusion, and we shut down a little bit more. Although we barely see
the ads on the floor of the transit station, we absorb their message: that we’re not workers or travelers or human beings,
but consumers. In the category of fakery for manipulative purposes, we must include the buying and selling of politicians. Elections in a plutocracy are an example of large-scale fraud for large-scale commercial purposes. As with advertising, we brush off the grotesque smarminess of political speeches, understanding their falseness as an integral part of the lingua franca. We even have a phrase for its cynical codes: dog-whistle-speak. What happens to a society when egregious insincerity becomes unremarkable?
Beyond Politics
The filmmaker Adam Curtis is our most eloquent chronicler of this phenomenon: the normalization of the hollow and the fake (his latest film is HyperNormalisation). He talks about the manipulations of modern culture, so pervasive that we don’t notice them. It’s like that country song, “How can I miss you if you don’t go away?” There is insidious power in ubiquity. We’re used to thinking of power as “politicians telling us what to do,” Curtis says, but this age-old construct needs an update. How powerful are federal regulations, for example, compared to the power inherent in algorithms that monitor every move we make online? We won’t see Curtis interviewed on MSNBC any time soon. He’s too radical, and not in the narrow political 220px-chris_hedges_blursense. His perspective is an example of a way to talk about the election that does not leave us in numb passivity. Visionaries like Curtis and journalist Chris Hedges urge us to exert ourselves. They inspire us to resist the deadening of our sensibilities. By getting us to throw off the dominant narrative, they guide us back to the center of our own chart.
Back to the chart
Astrology teaches that all roads lead back to the natal chart. No matter how much blame can justifiably
Any contemplation of how to respond to a toxic environment comes back to the fact that there are reasons – mysterious
but specific karmic reasons — why we incarnated into this particular epoch and place. And the way we find out what those reasons are is by looking at ourselves. This is not to say that self-examination cancels out caring about the outer world. From the perspective of astrology – as above, so below; as within, so without — both the personal and the collective realms are valid lines of inquiry. Both can lead us, or fail to lead us, to wisdom. (1)
Power and control
Consider the ever-fascinating themes of fatal ambition, power and control. Symbolized by the planet Pluto, they are
features of the human condition in general, and of the specific age we were born into. And they take on a very individual form, too. Each 13438814_1777969632439895_286329444173991538_nnatal chart suggests our own unique relationship to the domination/ submission dynamic.
The cycles of Uranus (revolution), Neptune (mass trends) and Pluto (breakdown) help us understand big cultural events
as well as our attitudes towards those events. The other planets reveal the personal resources we bring to group experiences. They suggest why we’re interested (Mercury) in certain features of our society, what skills we could contribute (Mars), what our relationship is to its dominant paradigm (Saturn), and what values (Venus, Jupiter) we develop within it. The chart hints at what our point of entry could be to an event like this election. That is, our optimal point of entry: What it could be, if we weren’t taking our cue from the contrivances of our culture.
This point of entry is, by definition, as unique as a fingerprint.
As an observer of US politics, my own view is that the issues afoot are much larger than who wins the White House next
month. As Roseanne Barr puts it, “It doesn’t matter which one of them wins, it’s the … duopolistic fundraising arm of
the prison-military-industrial complex.” As an astrologer, my question is: What cosmic lessons are represented by the various characters engaged in this morality play, set in the waning years of the American Empire? Some analysts are taking a page from Thomas Carlyle’s “Great Man Theory” of history (a phrase that now, significantly, needs to be amended for gender). This approach sees human evolution as being shaped by certain individuals whose unique attributes prepare them – even compel them – to a place of power that changes the world.
The transpersonal take on this idea is that such a person has emerged from the necessities of their place and time,
like an indigenous plant sprouting when the conditions are just right. Once such a person has risen to a certain level
of leadership, they have effectively ceased to be an individual in the normal sense of the word. They’ve become an
extension of the collective. This view has something in common with the way monarchs were seen, in the age of rule by divine right. Kings and czars were believed to be mystically appointed embodiments of the collective soul. The extreme reverence shown this month by ordinary Thais for their deceased king comes to mind. The great astrologer Dane Rudhyar believed that some people, having reached a requisite level of individuation, live out their own dharma and that of the collective simultaneously. Their path is no longer merely personal. They surrender
their own egos to the world moment. They are what we call heroes.
I think most of us would agree that, more often, public figures surrender to the mass mind without having first become individuated. They become objects of emotive collective projection: a mirror for mass fantasies, as movie stars are. They are personifications of some key teaching necessitated by group karma. We can see this in the two candidates vying for the White House right now. They are singular embodiments of American society in the mid-20-teens. For good or ill, they’re here to show us ourselves. I think everybody gets this. Many observers have called Trump a caricature of the male entitlement of this culture in this era. Just as many have pegged Clinton as a caricature of the gimlet-eyed focus and willingness to play the corrupt game that any first-woman-president would have to cultivate. We’ve created these two in order to help us understand what’s going on, as the USA lumbers towards its Pluto Return (exact in 2022)(2) on the threshold of the Age of Aquarius.
FROM OUR CENTER
The ultimate meaning of this big drama can be found only through our own point of entry. To discover this, those on a path of individuation will find themselves going back to their chart: the script for our lifetime play. By this I don’t mean you have to literally look at your astrological chart (although of course I think it helps, like, a lot). I mean that if we’re going to learn anything from all this, we need to observe it from our psycho-spiritual center. And if we want to talk about it, we have to take back the conversation.

Metaversal Astral Terrain Reports for December 6th to 12th
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6When Mars is in Aquarius: Dynamic yet erratic energy levels, achieving our goals through hit or miss tactics, and impersonal expression of anger are characteristics of Mars in Aquarius. We are team players–cooperative and less concerned about personal power. We are attracted to unconventional methods, and tend to approach problems from an intellectual, detached perspective. Waxing Moon in Pisces harmonizes with powerful Pluto and mystical Neptune, strengthening our creative inspiration and increasing the power of your visualization of intentions set at last Tuesday’s New Moon.Morning is particularly favorable for making a dream board, treasure map, or related tools. Meditation on forgiveness, metta or compassion will not only harmonize our feelings, but also our dealings tonight, bringing out the highest and the best of a sextile from feisty Mars to rebel Uranus in the sign of its rule. We are motivated by our irrational emotions rather than our rational intellects while the reflective Moon visits compassionate Pisces. We make choices based upon our dreams rather than practical reality. However, the Moon’s conjunction with nebulous Neptune can either heighten our sense of spirituality or trigger reactions based upon fear. Thankfully, an innovative Mars-Uranus sextile reveals a brilliant solution just in the nick of time. This aspect, if applied with tact, can open doors suddenly and serve as a short-cut to results from direct action.
Drive with prudence.
WATERWEEK
SO WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM THIS SECOND WEEK OF THE 12th LUNAR CYCLE OF 2016? THE MOON'S SECOND QUARTER IS WHERE WE UTILIZE THE POWER OF METAVERSAL MIND, WATER, THE KABBALISTIC WORLD OF BRIAH, THE PATTERN, THROUGH THE MEDIUM OF OUR EMOTIONAL AND MENTAL BODIES. SINCE BRIAH IS THE REALM OF GODS AND FAERIES, ANGELS AND GODDESS'S, IMAGES AND SYMBOLS, VISIONS AND VOICES, WE CAN EXPECT NOTHING LESS THAN KNOWLEDGE AND CONVERSATION WITH THE PATTERNS OF OUR DEEP SELVES, WHAT CARL JUNG CALLS "ASPECTS OF THE SELF. THE UNIFIED, SELF-ORGANIZING ENTITY WE ARE EXPRESSIONS OF".
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7
When Mercury is in Capricorn, our thinking is methodical and our focus is sober and practical. It is easier to concentrate on the task at hand under this influence. Our conversations may be quite realistic or focused on business/practical matters. Our thought patterns and communication styles become more logical, orderly, and organized. We are more able to sort out what is relevant and essential. Realism enters the picture, our speech is no-nonsense, and precision becomes important to us. We need to be wary of becoming too rigid in our thinking. We may come across as cold or harsh. For some, there is a fine line between realism and pessimism. Moon reaches First Quarter in Pisces at 1:03 am (4:03 ET) before going VOC on a square to demanding Saturn at 6:05 this morning. In Pisces, Moon still performs and brings out the potential for compassion of Venus as the love planet enters universal Aquarius. This is a great day to declutter the desk, bookcase and space with an eye to consolidating the intentions we chose at last Tuesday’s New Moon. With Venus entering Aquarius, we can also declutter our social connections and turn to true friends, in line with an altruistic holiday project. The Sabian symbol for today’s lunation is 16 Pisces: IN A QUIET MUSEUM, AN ART STUDENT DRINKS IN INSPIRATION. Subjective source of strength around all manifestation. Communion with accumulated race power. Deep, vibrant realization.
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8
The Day of Jupiter in the kabbalistic World of Water.Projecting Light Specific Blue and facing West, vibrate this azure deluxe into your Second Chakra along with the mantrum: EE-BE-DA. Jupiter is all about allowing ambiguity, contradiction, and movement. It isn't about integration. It helps the ego become more flexible. By Jove, life isn't about staying calm and balanced, but rather about keeping complexity and drama and everything else alive and in dynamic flow. Moon enters Aries in the wee hours and today’s influences help us get on the good side of its verve.
With Thursday’s prosperous Jupiter vibration and today’s numerology of 8, an early sextile from Moon to Venus can be channeled by acting to revive something we had started before Mercury entered its retrograde shadow on December 2. It can be anything froma business to an altruistic project or romance.Use the energy early—at 3:43 pm (6:43ET), Moon squares Saturn, good for demanding results from ourselves, though we should watch for belligerence and guilt trips.
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9
If you actively invoke blessed HANIEL, the Archangel of Venus into your heart today, you may find you have developed the ability to feel like Khrisna, multiplying himself into a dozen pastoral, naked farmhands with muddy feet and emerald pond scum on their thighs, or maybe you are a young Freya on the back of a panther, eating honey. The Day of Venus, who gets oversimplified like a lot of her sisters, is one of the most complex planets going: she works as an attractive force and as a creative one. Intelligence is the greatest aphrodisiac, but a dab of extract from a civet's anal gland and a nice pair of shoes will work just as well today Venus, who gets oversimplified like a lot of her sisters, is one of the most complex planets going: she works as an attractive force and as a creative one. wel. lThe 5 roses represent the five senses in the Empress card (Atu 3) And in the Lovers card (Atu 6 ) the senses are the five fruits of Eve. Venus is indeed in cahoots with the senses. All movement of all living creatures in world of Assiah are tied to the senses and the desire-nature. The accomplished Lightpilot can remove the robe of desire in order to withdraw into the worlds of Briah and Atzitluth, but in order to achieve anything in the physical realms you keep that robe on. When you act, your gonna act in terms of desire. Venus represents that which is desirable. Every living thing seeks pleasure and tries to avoid pain. Victory lies in understanding our desire nature and learning how to use it. hen Venus is in Capricorn: Getting serious about our finances and boosting our relations with business partners and/or co-workers will be easier than usual under this influence. Our talents for creating artistic structure and form are enhanced, and our ability to form connections with people who support our ambitions is increased. We value enduring connections, reliability, and faithfulness. We take expressing our feelings seriously, and we take our time to warm up to others. We generally keep our “cool” in relationships.Confidence surges and luck brightens the sky as Sun in optimistic Sagittarius sextiles its ruler, fortunate Jupiter, in socially adept Libra. This aspect is highly propitious for promotion, education and publicity.
The brightest orb is also moving to conjunct Saturn, casting this fun aspect in a more serious light, and calling us to pour some energy into an area or situation where we have felt pressured this year. Look for the middle degrees of Sagittarius in your birth chart to confirm the connection. Moon in go-getter Aries connects with success planets Jupiter and Saturn this morning, facilitating tangible results. Plan and act before 5:06 pm (8:06 ET), when Moon goes VOC on a sextile to ruler Mars. Take a break to enjoy low-key physical fun: dancing, bowling, or a sports event. Your sheets and covers may look normal when you go to bed tonight, but mental Mercury will sextile mysterious Neptune in the wee hours, opening unusually inspiring dream portals. Sleep with a note book by your bed to write down dreams on wakening. Affirmation (sit on the edge of the bed and repeat several times before sleeping):Deep within, I know how to strengthen my (mention area where Saturn is transiting your chart), and the way is revealed clearly in dreams I will remember on waking in the morning.
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10
The Day of Saturn in the kabbalistic World of Water, Briah. Wearing Black and facing North, invoke the spirit of Johnny Cash into your Base Chakra (The Malkuth "Lil' World" Morphogenetic Field Transceiver) with the mantrum. "Because your mine, I walk the line". With it being Waterweek, honor Saturn today by creating greater stability in the Metaverse, actively expressing or experiencing your security needs, and cleansing and strengthening your base Chakra. Our consciousness in this chakra is concerned with survival, with our fight or flight response, with our instincts. It links the individual with the physical world. Serves as the foundation to evolve and build personality. If we are to ignore this chakra, and concern ourselves with the higher levels, we will be growing without roots, we will be unstable, unable to withstand the trials that will come our way. If our survival needs are met, the Base Chakra will function healthily, but if there is a perceived threat to this, (such as a difficult house move, job change, health problems, etc.) it can create an imbalance. Other Saturnian imbalances can show themselves in various ways, from sleeplessness and the inability to relax, to obsession with money, possessions or healthIt’s a bird, it’s a plane… it’s a power Saturday! Check last night’s dream for guidance. Use the leadership numerology of today’s “1” and the Sun’s light and vitality as she connects with Saturn to inject new life and forge ahead in the area that Saturn has been transiting your natal chart (see yesterday’s influences).This strategy and action can help you close the entire year on a more satisfying note. Particularly propitious are concerns related to prosperity, creativity, romance, and connections with others.
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 11
The Day of the Sun and the Sun is in Sagittarius. Summer ends with the beautiful colors of Libra. Then, as the Sun moves into Scorpio, the intensity of autumn magnifies. The leaves shrivel and die. By the time the Sun reaches Sagittarius, there is a wintry look to the northern landscapes. The leaves have fallen from the trees and the view is open to a larger sky. Sagittarius is about wide open spaces. The arrow of the Archer represents thoughts, and during the Sagittarius month, our aspirations can be aimed high. Our minds go to far-away places and we think about our long-term goals in life. We may dream of travel and visualize the future. This day is loaded with opportunities, both subtle and practical. Do you have any business you can do today? Rise early and take care of it as Moon in abundant Taurus trines Pluto in builder-sign Capricorn. If there’s no practical outlet for these energies, enjoy their sensual side by sharing a special breakfast, massage and whatever-happens-next in bed. The 11th day is a portal to elevate humanity’s love vibration, and now, only one day before Guadalupe-Tonantzin’s feast day, this is the last such opportunity of the year. Partake of a spiritual service or encounter, or simply meditate in a way that helps you achieve this wavelength. A chain of lunar contacts to the orbs of success, Jupiter, Saturn and Sun, remind us that practical actions also can be sacred and today, especially productive. At 8:04 pm (11:04 ET), Moon in creative but stubborn Taurus goes VOC on a square to bellicose Mars. Interaction with others can lead to explosive situations. Also tonight, inspiration rises as Sun trines Uranus, planet of genius. Use insomnia to make headway with a creative endeavor or strategize for activism.

December Fireweek Forecasts
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1After a five-month retrograde, Chiron goes direct, helping us look at healing issues that we have been going over and
repeating during this time. Today’s aspects favor audacious actions and progress, giving us a chance to apply a new level of confidence. Assertive Mars in friendly Aquarius trines confidant Jupiter in social Libra, a yearly aspect that’s worth using. It can help us break through barriers with direct action, and—considering the signs involved—make strides in creative or people-related endeavors. It can also make us bombastic, argumentative or pushy, particularly with the warrior planet
in opinionated Aquarius. waxing Moon in constructive Capricorn helps us organize for results.
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2
Mercury the communicator helps bring us down to earth as it enters Capricorn. We can use it to plan our strategies, generate results to satisfy Moon in constructive Capricorn, and keep our communications on a wise note. This is especially important (and challenging!) in the midst of tense aspects
to Pluto, Jupiter and Uranus, the big bosses of the solar system.This is not the best night for romance, unless you have
the exceptional grace of being in love with a sensual intellectual who can easily move from argument to lust.
We might focus rather on organizing our space, tying up loose ends, getting a foot massage or warm bath, and resting
early.
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3
Moon goes VOC in the wee hours on a conjunction to love-planet Venus, followed by a harmony from hot Mars to solid
Saturn. With Moon VOC this morning, we might choose relaxation, yet the contacts sound good for a sensual encounter
with a stable partner, doing yoga or taking a brisk walk in the beautiful outdoors. At 11:44 am (2:44 pm), Moon enters
exciting Aquarius. Afternoon is great for joining with friends, visiting the Exploratorium, and enjoying a cultural
activity.
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 4
The stars design to deliver a Sunday that’s worthy of its name. Moon in Aquarius, sign of friends and culture, sextiles
Sun in enthusiastic Sagittarius, and moves to trine Jupiter tonight. Go off the beaten path: visit an unusual exhibit,
buy an airplane ticket, take a hike to a new place, a trip to the city or—if you’re an urban dweller—go to the mountains
or for a ride in a hot air balloon. These energies are also great for promoting something on the web or any kind of cause. Avoid getting too intense with your opinions or sermonizing others.If we manage not to get bombastic or upset by someone’s drama, today is actually great for almost anything. In fact, a late lunar harmony to productive Saturn makes tonight better for work than tomorrow, when Moon will be VOC for most of the day. So if you’re insomniac or restless, stay up and use it.
MONDAY, DECEMBER 5
At 3:23 am (6:23 ET), Moon in Aquarius goes VOC on a sextile to Uranus. Make a date with the artist within,
find some way to allow your creative juices to flow, see an art film or read a good book. Enjoy your own company or
that of friends who share your ideals. Time is accelerating and although we’re being thrust into the future, there are
trouble spots ahead. Thankfully, we can use our emotions to fuel progress as the idealistic Aquarius Moon tangles with
warrior Mars. Instead of turning our attention inward, we have a chance to express our feelings in a constructive manner.
But there’s no time to waste because our fantasies are irresistible when the Moon shifts into imaginative Pisces at
8:30 pm pST. . Pisces represents, on the level of the first octave, the period between 28 weeks after Conception till
Birth, when after the electrick nervous system of the fetus switches on (Aquarius), we become psychically tuned to
the entity later to be known as Mother. On the level of the fourth octave (see Chapter 9 of the Metaversal Lightcraft Training Manual for more on the Four Octaves), Pisces represents the enlightened Self which must give itself totally to the whole, dissolving into the void, in order to achieve the final unity with the realm of pure spirit. On the World scale, Pisces occupies the period between 1910 and 1969. heralded by the founding of Psychoanalysis, when Mankind began exploring again the Unconscious strata of Life, and by Albert Einstein's (a Pisces) Theory of Relativity. This was the time of Jung, Joyce, Hesse, Huxley, Leary, Burroughs. We transcended the limits the illusion, Maya, the physical World of Assiah, extending inward with the electron microscope and outward with the high powered Telescope. The entire range of audible musical notes and the whole spectrum of visible colour, apprehended and understood. The dissolving power of mutable Water, Second coming of the Fish with the Double Wand of Power, Atom Bomb and LSD. With the Moon in Pisces we have a heightened sensitivity to Musick and the Dreamtime, and we feel the depths of pure compassion for the Metaverse and it's inhabitants. Let the subtlety of thought and expression, the depth of imagination, and the ability to think nonverbally inspire you to create beautiful art and music.
